How does AASHTO decide what route number a U.S. Bicycle Route will have?
This is where the newly developed Designation System for the Corridor Plan becomes important. AASHTO’s Special Committee on Route Numbering will use the designation plan to determine what number will be assigned to the proposed route. The Task Force on U.S. Bicycle Routes will be available to make recommendations and deal with any issues. It will be up to the state DOT to determine how to manage the route through mapping and/or signing.
